The wind here is amazing....we’re probably getting gusts to 30 mph at this hour. I can tell you we’re honestly probably lucky the wedge isn’t quite as cold and dry as in previous storms because with the amount of qpf along with this wind, that would be one helluva ice storm and probably one for the ages.

Fairly surprised at the FFC graphic....haven't really chimed in on this storm since it looked to leave us totally out of the game, at least Atlanta proper around the perimeter. The new EURO continues support for freezing rain in the typical CAD areas from Gwinnett/Hall county and points north and east. I'd still like to see what the NAM says by tomorrow afternoon for our area, that should give us a better idea of what the potential is, but if we get a stout NE wind per usual, we usually get down to 31/32 around here. If by some chance the CAD encroaches earlier for the bulk of the precipitation, then NE Georgia up through GSP is going to be in for one serious ice storm.

Satellite presentation looks the best that Florence has looked in a couple of days, Convection is very symmetrical and the eye is not ragged in the least. I wouldn’t be surprised if recon found pressures in the upper 930’s at some point today.
